Configuring The Adapter

After the adapter has been installed, some configuration is required to permit the adapter to connect through Windows Service to Microsoft Dynamics AX. To do this, open the Scribe.AxServiceHost.exe.config file with Notepad and edit the application settings to match your system.

To modify the Scribe.AxServiceHost.exe.config file:

  1. From the server on which the Microsoft Dynamics AX AOS is installed, open the Microsoft Dynamics AX Server Configuration Utility window.
  2. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and click Microsoft Dynamics AX Server Configuration. The Microsoft Dynamics AX Server Configuration Utility window appears.
  3. Note the values in the Application instance and TCP/IP port fields.

  4. Using Notepad, the Scribe.AxServiceHost.exe.config file.

    (Typically, the file is located in the ..\Scribe\Dynamics AX Server\ScribeAX Service\ directory of the server on which you installed the ScribeAdapterforMicrosoftDynamicsAXServer.msi file.)

  5. Scroll to near the end of the file to the <applicationSettings> section and replace the following values:

    Scribe.AxServiceHost.exe.config

    In this example, the final version of the Scribe.AxServiceHost.exe.config file would be the following:

    Scribe.AxServiceHost.exe.config

  6. Click Start > Administrative Tools > Server Manager. The Server Manager window opens.
  7. Restart the Scribe AxServiceHost service.

Note: The Scribe AxServiceHost service should be restarted every time the Scribe.AxServiceHost.exe.config file is changed.
